What many don't want to look at is Judgment Day.  That is not a happy day for me to imagine either.  I shutter at the thought that anyone that I have been privileged to befriend would be in the "never knew" group.  I would hope I glorify God, represent Him the best I can, and make a desirable testimony, so others will want to follow Him.   But I also hope I don't pretend like something is okay, if God makes it clear it is not okay.
